THE MILK MEN ARE ONE THE MOST POPULAR AND ACCLAIMED BLUES ROCK BANDS IN THE UKNominated for eight UK Blues Awards and British Blues Challenge finalists, and with a Number 1 blues single and album to their name, The Milk Men have earned a reputation as the one of the most dynamic and enjoyable live bands on the circuit. Their six albums of original material have seen them top both the Amazon and iTunes charts and won them ‘Best Album’ nominations, and their live shows are renowned for their electric energy and joyous sense of fun.
��The Milk Men are a band made up from the cream of British R’n’B talent and pedigree. With former Pirate Mike Roberts on drums, Lloyd Green (son of guitar legend Mick Green) on bass guitar, raw-throated blues singer Jamie Smy on vocals, the band is rounded off on guitar by Adam Norsworthy, also known for his work with blues-scene mainstays Mustangs.
The band draws its influences from a wide range of classic bands from Dr Feelgood to Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC to Stevie Wonder. The band’s original music is classic blues rock, but always played with attack, energy, melody and a sense of fun. The band has released five hugely-acclaimed studio albums of original material and a live album. Their latest studio album Holy Cow! has seen the band cement its reputation as one of the UK’s premier keepers of the British Blues Rock flame when the first single from the album, One Man Band, went straight to Number 1 on the iTunes blues chart. The album itself then went on to top both the Amazon and iTunes blues album charts. The album’s reviews were unanimous in their praise, with many calling it “a near-perfect” album. The band’s third album Deliverance reached number 9 on the Amazon Top 10 Blues Chart (whilst also making the overall Top 40).
The band has headlined major blues festivals all over the UK including the prestigious Great British Rock & Blues Festival in Skegness. A year later they were nominated for Best Band, Best Album and Best Vocalist at the UK Blues Awards. In January 2023 the band was nominated for two UK Blues Awards – Emerging Talent and Best Blues Band. In September 2023 they were one of the five bands chosen to compete in the prestigious UK Blues Challenge. As well as Skegness, they have graced the main stages of all the UK’s biggest Blues Festivals including Colne, Upton, Alfold, Carlisle, Blackpool, Swanage and many more.
In 2025 the band founded and hosted Milkfest – an annual charity fund-raising one-day celebration of British Blues held at the Indigo at the O2 in London. Organised by guitarist Adam, the 2025 event raised over £8000 for the Brain Tumour Charity, and the second Milkfest is scheduled for March 1st 2026 in aid of Dementia UK. The band’s new live album, Live at Milkfest, is a completely-live souvenir recording of their opening set at the Milkfest ’25. �It reached Number 5 in the iTunes blues chart and once again received rave reviews.
